Returns are absolute for periods under a year, calculated from AMFI NAVs. Regular plans include the distributor's commission in the expense ratio; Direct plans do not. IDCW options pay out part of the gains, so after a payout their NAV and returns are lower than the Growth option's. "Plan not stated": AMFI's name for that scheme code does not say Direct or Regular.

About the Equity Long-Short Fund strategy

Closest mutual fund comparison: No direct mutual fund equivalent — closest comparison is a long-only large/multi-cap equity fund, but without the short/derivative overlay
Role in a portfolio: Structurally closest to a core equity holding, with added tactical flexibility a standard equity fund cannot use. Not a substitute for a diversified equity allocation on its own.
Short exposure limit: Up to 25% of net assets through unhedged derivative positions
